I hope not.

Oh, I get it. I dogged on your favorite character so now you're all mad and stuff.
I hope that is the case that all the flashbacks will indeed really matter. Many of them in season 2 felt like filler to me; many didn't actually deepen the character or provide better explanation of character motivation, they just gave the character other stuff to do. A concern going forward is that flashbacks will be used simply to provide justification for the writers wanting a character to suddenly act in a certain, new way on the island.
